Microsoft launches Tafiti Search

Microsoft has launched an experimental search site Tafiti.com that uses Silverlight 1.0 to display Windows Live search results. The search experience is unlike most of other interfaces that are currently found on the Web, and the graphics on the home page have a similar look and feel to the GUI of Windows Vista.

The result page also includes a box for entering a search topic on the left hand side of the screen, which is created to look like the top of a piece of looseleaf paper, with a blank white section in the center with the heading “Web” where search results appear.

On the right is a notepad-like application that Microsoft calls a “shelf,” with thumbnail-sized screenshots of what look like Web pages.

The aim of Tafiti just seems to showcase the power of Microsoft Silverlight, and there is no improvement in the awkward search results returned by Windows Live Search :(
